"Xiao Peng, if only my good-for-nothing kids had half your ability..." Xu Mengxing sighed deeply.

"Uncle, don't talk about that. Every family has its own problems," Wang Peng said with a smile.

"I'm not going to say anything more," Xu Mengxing said. "Instead of leaving them business, we should leave them a few reliable stocks."

As he spoke, he returned to the table and slowly sat down in the chair.

There wasn't much coffee left in his cup, so Wang Peng picked up the phone on the table and called the front desk to order two more cups.

When the coffee arrived, Xu Mengxing asked, "Xiaopeng, what is your ultimate dream?"

When asked about his ultimate dream, Wang Peng thought carefully and said, "To earn enough money to last a lifetime to travel the world."

Xu Mengxing scratched her head and said with a smile, "I'm so old and I'm still working hard to earn money. You're so young and you're already thinking about enjoying yourself?"

"Everyone has their own ambitions." Wang Peng picked up his coffee and took a sip.

“Okay, let’s continue talking about our ambitions.” Xu Mengxing smiled and continued discussing the matter of opening a branch store.

The two chatted over drinks, starting with business and gradually moving on to family.

Xu Mengxing shared her experience of maintaining a harmonious family with him.

As they chatted, it turned into Xu Mengxing performing a monologue, while Wang Peng listened attentively.

"Xiao Peng, the whole provincial capital knows about your affair with Boss Li. Is Mingzhu really just going to ignore it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Peng smiled wryly: "She doesn't really care about Meng Jiao's existence."

At this point, a pang of guilt rose in his heart, and he felt he had let his wife, Li Mingzhu, down.

Xu Mengxing shook her head: "People are different. Some women care about men cheating, while some women don't care at all."

"You're not the kind of man who indulges in debauchery outside, are you?" Xu Mengxing added.

Wang Peng shook his head. Apart from Li Mengjiao and Hu Qing, with whom he had a somewhat ambiguous relationship, he hadn't gotten involved with any other women.

Xu Mengxing smiled slightly and said, "It's perfectly normal for me to have four illegitimate children outside, isn't it?"

"Uh..." Wang Peng looked at his white hair and gave him a thumbs up.

"You only have two or three women, you're far inferior to me." Xu Mengxing raised her head, looking like a seasoned veteran.

Wang Peng didn't know why he brought up this topic, and then laughed and said, "You actually told me your private matters, you don't treat me like an outsider."

"Xiaopeng, how long have we known each other?" Xu Mengxing suddenly changed the subject.

"It's been about four years," Wang Peng thought. He had only been in the provincial capital for a short time when he met Lao Xu through his cousin-in-law's letter of introduction.

Thinking of his cousin and her husband, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

My cousin's husband, Chen Qingshu, is the principal of a junior high school in another city. My cousin, Li Fang, has been living with him there and doesn't come home more than twice a year.

Then, he thought of his eldest uncle and aunt.

Perhaps it's because they're too busy and rarely visit each other, that they've become somewhat distant from each other.

"Xiao Peng, to be honest, is it alright for me to give it to you?" Xu Mengxing asked with a smile.

“You’ve been very good to me,” Wang Peng said, sitting up straight and very seriously. “Xu, just say what you have to say.”

Xu Mengxing took out his phone to make a call. Half an hour later, his secretary, Xu Huijun, walked in with a young couple.

The woman was in her thirties, and the man was at most seventeen or eighteen. Their facial features were about 70% similar, and they looked like a mother and son.

Xu Mengxing introduced the woman to Wang Peng. She said her name was Xu Huilin, the older sister of the secretary Xu Huijun, and she was also a pretty woman.

The boy's name was Xu Chenglong, Xu Mengxing's youngest illegitimate son, and he had a rebellious face.

“Jackie Chan, call him Brother Peng,” Xu Mengxing said in a deep voice.

"Hello, Brother Peng." Xu Chenglong greeted him perfunctorily, and then yawned after the greeting.

"Can't you even say hello? Speak properly!" Xu Mengxing suddenly raised her voice.

Xu Chenglong looked up and glanced at him, raising his voice slightly: "Hello, Brother Peng!"

"Hello." Wang Peng smiled slightly, then looked at Xu Mengxing with a puzzled expression. "Uncle Xu, is Jackie Chan's younger brother in high school now?"

"Going to school my ass, he just dropped out last month. Xiaopeng, I can't control this kid, can you help me discipline him?" Xu Mengxing sighed softly.

Wang Peng was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved his hand: "Don't joke around, I'm still a child myself, how can I discipline your child?"

Li Mengxing was also taken aback, then burst out laughing. Xu Huilin and her brother also laughed, but Xu Chenglong looked disdainful.

“Xiao Peng, don’t be modest,” Xu Huilin said. “If a multi-millionaire like you is a child, then there are no adults left in the entire provincial capital.”

Wang Peng quickly waved his hand and said with a smile, "Ms. Xu, don't flatter me. I don't have a net worth of millions."

What followed was mutual flattery. Wang Peng felt that Xu Huilin was a person with high emotional intelligence, and it was very comfortable to listen to her speak.

Xu Mengxing said, "Xiaopeng, I don't know why, but this child is determined not to go to school."

He pointed at Xu Chenglong and shook his head: "Let him go to your place to train and learn a lesson."

At this point, Xu Mengxing looked at Xu Chenglong again, as if she was disappointed in him.

Xu Huilin quickly interjected, "Xiao Peng, let him do the hardest work, and smooth out his unruly nature."

These words were rather serious. Wang Peng smiled but didn't respond. It turned out that Xu Mengxing's core objective wasn't to discuss investment.

Looking at Xu Chenglong's arrogant expression, Wang Peng knew that he was a troublemaker. He wanted to refuse, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.

“Uncle Xu, I don’t have the skills to be a teacher. Forget it, I’m afraid I’ll corrupt the child.”

“This child is rotten from beginning to end, how much worse can he be?” Xu Mengxing sneered.

"This..." Wang Peng was both amused and exasperated, and really had no desire to waste his energy on the brat.

Seeing his hesitation, Xu Mengxing immediately said, "How about I invest one million for just 20% of the shares?"

"Deal!" Wang Peng immediately smiled. "Uncle, but let me make this clear from the start: if I don't teach you well, you can't blame me."

"Hmph." Xu Mengxing chuckled, "If you can turn a small tobacco and liquor store into a brother supermarket, you can definitely turn Jackie Chan into Jackie Chan. I believe in you."

Having been put on this show, Wang Peng couldn't refuse and had no choice but to agree.

For a moment, Xu Mengxing was very happy, and Xu Huilin couldn't stop smiling, while Xu Chenglong remained indifferent.

Xu Mengxing was still concerned about her son, and asked with a smile, "Xiaopeng, what are your plans for Jackie Chan?"

Wang Peng had no time to waste on the troubled teenager, and replied, "I plan to have him learn about personnel administration from Du Lei first."

"Okay!" Xu Huilin clapped her hands lightly and hurriedly said, "No need to pay him too high a salary, four or five hundred yuan a month will be fine."

Wang Peng nodded. "I'll leave the salary to Du Lei as well. Please rest assured, Ms. Xu, I will definitely not mistreat him financially."

As he spoke, he looked at Xu Chenglong.

The two locked eyes, Xu Chenglong coldly looking to the side, appearing arrogant and unruly.
